you would like to see Flemish sign langauge on the Internet in SignWriting,
maybe you (and your class?) could help build SignBank's online
dictionaries? You can add signs to the dictionary using Sign Maker, a
javascript application. It's not typing like SignWriter. It uses
drag and drop. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My name is Kathleen Heylen and i'm a
motivated teacher from Belgium. I work in a bilingual school for d/Deaf
children in Brussels, our beatiful capitol ;o)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I started to use SignWriting with my pupils
last year and it was an amazing experience for the children and for me too.
Suddenly Flemish Signlanguage became more clear, and a full and worthy
language. Just like our majority 'spoken' language, Flemish.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope to learn more about SignWriting and how
other teachers in different country's use it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not only that, i really wanted to see something
about Flemish signlanguage and SignWriting on the internet ;o)</FONT></DIV>
